As ever, look at the wider landscape context.

Always useful but multi period use of sites is common e.g. Salisbury plain .
Given the choice between a phenomenological approach and an excavation my dosh would go on the latter.
I would be fascinated to see further excavation of the site. With a rider that enough should be left unexcavated to be of use for future, as yet undiscovered, techniques to be able to shed light on the site.

Anything wrong with the last excavation ? It is almost common practice to take into consideration future generations of archaeos and technology and leave something for them e.g. Stonehenge , lots of it still to be excavated .
